Free to play £300 prize pool GRID tournament
Xleague TV and Codemasters are running a free to enter GRID competition with a £300 prize pool going to winners. Two tournaments will be running with one and Xbox 360 and the other on the PlayStation 3 version. Races will take place as a one V one setup with a group stage beginning on 14 of July and running until the 30th of August. A final televised knockout stage will then run at a date yet to be decided where qualifiers will face off to win the prizes on offer.
Registration for the competition closes on the 07/07/08 so players need to act quick in order to secure a slot. A maximum of 128 players will be allowed to register for the PlayStation 3 event with 70 registered players at time of publication. 256 slots are available in the Xbox 360 competition with 163 players currently registered at this point in time. Qualifying races will take place on Bridgestone Challenge, Le Mans Series (GT1) and Philips World Championship over 3 laps. Default game options will be used which means catchup switched off, damage on and assists on. For more information and to sign up for the tournament head on over to Xleague TV’s site and get signed up. Qualifying finalists will need to be available for filming at Xleague TV studios in London so the competition is only really plausible for residents of the UK.
